What is the shortest poem Edgar Allan Poe has written?

It's difficult to say definitively which is the *shortest* poem Edgar Allan Poe wrote, as there are many very short poems, some even just one line. However, one contender for the title is "Alone":

> From childhood's hour I have not been

> As others were; I have not seen

> As others saw; I could not bring

> My passions from a common spring.

> From the same source I have not taken

> My sorrow; I could not awaken

> My heart to joy at the same tone;

> And all I lov'd, I lov'd alone.

This poem contains just 8 lines and explores themes of isolation and difference common in Poe's work.

There are other poems of similar length, such as "A Dream" (6 lines) or "The Raven" (108 lines, but some editions omit the final 14 lines, making it 94 lines long). Ultimately, the "shortest" is subjective and depends on how you define it.
